[QUOTE="cape cove, post: 2081981, member: 95503"] I tried RL-26 in several cartridges and found not much difference from other slow burning powders except in the 270 Win and 300 Win mag. This powder really came to life in these rounds. Mind you I was never able to achieve some of the #'s posted here but prior to using RL-26 the highest velocity I was able to get in my 270 ( Browning BBR 22" barrel) with 150 gr bullets was 2790 Ft/sec. With RL-26 I could safely up that to 2900 ft/sec. A respectable gain of a little over 100 ft/sec. In my 300 WM with other slow burners and 180 gr bullets 3100 ft/sec was my normal max with my 24" barrel . RL-26 upped this to 3225 ft/sec, a gain of 125 ft/sec along with great accuracy and safe pressure. JME [/QUOTE]
